The market for cotton options has retained a
slightly unsettled tone, and made another good
record of business. with the latest absorbing
power again demonstrated There was an in
dicatlon of further desire to sell this morning,
and some hammering by operators, who have
recently spilled their long cotton but after the

restores values to last evenings figures, and

CHICAGO. Oct. 1s.-The markets today opened
substantially where they closed yesterday, but
the feeling soon became bearlsh, the chief weak
ness being in provisions. Trading was more
spirited on the floor to-day than on Monday, but
during most of the session was spasmodic and
principally of scalping nature. December
wheat opened at 72l4c and dropped to 715s0172c
under pronounced disposition to sell the art-
Gle. This was followed by reaction to the
closing figures of yesterday. and before the
close there was return of the weakness of the
morning, the bears trying in vain to pound De
ceInbcr below nc. On the afternoon board all
other reaction occurred, and December recov-
cred its loss and closed at 72l4 0lI23sc. Receipts
continue large at Northwestern points and mod
erately light at ether points. Corn was almost
featuleleSs. Trading was very tame and linn
tied, and at times the pit was entirely quiet
many OF the traders being attracted 10 the pro-
vision pit. The demand for cash corn was
slightly better than yesterday. May corn opened
ar 441sc and closed at 445sc. There was light
trading in futures in oats and the market was
extremely narrow, there being barely 1sc fiuctu
alton iii prices The general tone was weak and
all months easier Provisions showed
some Weakening of the old-tiIne life. Traders
found it necessary to again take possession of
the pit, and for the first day in many weeks the
market claimed omething like general atten-
ton aud proved more than ordinarily interest
ing. Considerable activity characterized bust
ness vet the movement was Dedrish and lower
prices the rule. Unexpected receipts of live
hogs developed an unusual desire to sell Pack
ers who have been heretofore conser gative in
selling against their anticipated production
Joined the ranks of sellers and with excessive
offerings severe depression followed Based on
last nights closing, tne days decline amounted
to zoe on January pork 10Ggl2l3c on different
deliveries of lard, 211c October short ribs and
10c on January short ribs. January was most
active delivery throughout. 1t Sold for pork
